It was inevitable. Given the increasing pressure on liberals, especially artists and writers, including Jewish artists and writers, to prove that they have the right/left politics–properly pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, anti-Judaism, and anti-American–Hollywood is giving an Honorary Academy Award to French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, an historically important director but a raving and unapologetic anti-Semite, a man who is obsessed with the Jews.
Godard has called a reputable French producer a “dirty Jew; Francois Truffaut broke with him over this as did Claude Lanzmann, the great French documentarian of the Holocaust (“Shoah”). Godard has also described Israel as a “cancer on the map of the Middle East;” visually, in paired flickering images, has compared Golda Meir to Hitler in one of his films; defended the 1972 Palestinian terrorist massacre of Israeli athletes in Munich and suggested that an image of the Palestinian camps should be “broadcast before every Olympics finale;” justified Arab terrorism by describing Israel as a “paradoxical form of Nazism;” insisted that German television is “financed by Zionists,” and demanded that the Germans, instead, allow “us” to buy “weapons for the Palestinians to attack Zionists.” In one of his many films, “A Married Woman,” Godard has a character state: “ Today, in Germany, I said to someone, ‘How about if tomorrow, we kill all the Jews and the hairdressers?’ He replied, ‘Why the hairdressers?’”

Paddy Chayefsky we could really use you now.
Freaky French Fascism dragging out the tired propagandist’s technique of reciprocation; Calling Jews Nazis and Fascists, as tho’ that somehow immunizes
the French Anti-Semite of charges of Fascism.
Like Sally Field calling Ethiopians “fat” in order to justify her shoveling a bag of pork rinds down her pie hole.
The paradox of art is that you can be a great artist and a terrible human being.
That’s why Plato kicked the poets out of his Republic.
Isn’t Godard pretty much over now? Has he made any films recently?
The majority of American Jews voted for an muslim named Hussein, who is a friends with many jew haters, back in Nov 2008. Most American Jews still love the muslim.
He was and IS backed by many jews in hollywood and his two closest advisors are a jew and an israeli. They are destroying America and empowering Islam.
PS: I know Jews who have left Europe because they can see what is happening. American Jews must want it to happen here too by voting for the muslim.
What is the problem? Jean Luc Goddard cannot be any bigger Jew hater than Jesse Jackson, Rev Wright and others. You have Bloomberg who is 100% in support of the 911 Victory Mosque in NYC.
Goddard cannot be any more destructive to the future of Jews than Bloomberg can he?
By the way - I agree with you.
What a shame. I always liked him on “Next Generation”.
Godard is a commie of long standing.
With all due respect to Phyllis Chesler, I'm willing to bet the assclowns on that committee at best completely overlooked Godard's twisted beliefs, and at worst shared them to one extent or another. I doubt it posed the slightest obstacle to his receiving the award. As mentioned above, I won't hold my breath waiting for them to bestow it on a Zionist or conservative filmmaker, no matter how talented.
Beat me to it. I was going to say something like, I think Kirk should have won.
Godard is a giant of filmmaking. He can’t really be ignored.
